Ten issues of the comic book Pickle were published between 1993
and 1997 by Black Eye Books. It included the serialisation of Hicksville and other one-off
strips, plus the first 4 chapters of another serial Cafe Underground (as yet unfinished). There
was going to be an issue 11, but this never came out (it appeared instead as the
concluding chapter of the Hicksville graphic novel).

Pickle was
nominated for two Ignatz Awards in 1997 (best art and best story) and was named #13 in Chris Staros' list of
the top 200 comics of all time (The Staros
Report).
